Cirrostratus clouds are thin and white, and often cover the entire sky. They are not thick enough to obscure the sun or cast shadows on the ground, but they can create a halo around the sun or moon. However, in this scenario, objects are casting distinct shadows on the ground, which indicates that the cloud layer is not thick enough to block out the sun's rays completely. Therefore, the most likely cloud type is cirrostratus.
